Hellboy, Evil, and the Cross
You won’t find the gospel in the Hellboy movies. But what you may find is signs of a world that has been touched by the gospel—a world that retains some awareness of sinister forces to be avoided or resisted, of evil that cannot be overcome by therapy or education or communication, that calls for a response from another realm entirely.
